Nothing to addWhat this medicine is for
Pharmacologically, Medroxyprogesterone relates to the category “hormone (menopause / progestogen)”. This hormone is part of hormonal contraception: taken each day, it prevents ovulation and makes the body unfavorable to a pregnancy, reversibly.
In the case of Medroxyprogesterone, this means: Hormonal treatment (menopause or gynaecology). It is generally taken over the long term, within regular monitoring, and is not stopped on your own initiative.
Under which brands it is found
Medroxyprogesterone is part of the composition of about 3 presentations listed in France. It is found under several brand names and as generics.
- Depo Prodasone
- Depo Provera
- Duova
Generics and the original brand are equivalent for the active substance; only the appearance, the name or the excipients may differ.
Do you need a supplement? No.
Nothing to add here. Medroxyprogesterone does not fall under any of our references, and no single-ingredient supplement makes credible sense as a complement. Rather than placing a product on principle, we leave this page without a purchase recommendation. If you are otherwise taking a statin, an antidiabetic, a PPI, a contraceptive or a beta-blocker, that is where we can be useful.
